2013 - 2014 LEGISLATURE
ASSEMBLY SUBSTITUTE AMENDMENT 1,
TO ASSEMBLY BILL 467
October 31, 2013 - Offered by Representatives J. Ott, Goyke, Wachs and Hebl.
AB467-ASA1,1,3 1An Act to renumber 343.301 (2m); to amend 347.413 (1) and 347.50 (1t); and
2to create 343.301 (2m) (b) of the statutes; relating to: the restriction to
3operation of a motor vehicle with an ignition interlock device.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a court is required to order that a person's motor vehicle
operating privilege be restricted to operating vehicles that are equipped with an
ignition interlock device if a person commits a second or subsequent offense related
to operating a vehicle while intoxicated or a first offense while his or her alcohol
concentration is 0.15 or greater, refuses to take a test for intoxication, or injures or
kills a person while operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Under current law, the
operating privilege restriction begins on the date the Department of Transportation
issues an operator's license and stays in place for not less than one year nor more
than the maximum operating privilege revocation period permitted for the refusal
or violation. Under this bill, the person whose operating privilege is restricted to
operating a motor vehicle equipped with an ignition interlock device may not drive
any motor vehicle that is not equipped with an approved ignition interlock device
from the time that the order restricting his or her operating privilege is entered until
that order expires.
Under current law, a person who violates the operating privilege restriction by
failing to install, removing, disconnecting, or otherwise tampering with the ignition

interlock device may be fined not less than $150 nor more than $600, imprisoned for
not more than six months, or both, for the first offense, and may be fined not less than
$300 nor more than $1,000, or imprisoned for not more than six months, or both, for
a second or subsequent offense. This bill provides that a violation of the operating
privilege restriction is subject to the same penalty provided for failing to install,
removing, disconnecting, or otherwise tampering with the ignition interlock device.
Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime,
the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a
report concerning the proposed penalty and the costs or savings that are likely to
result if the bill is enacted.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
